Im just writting a review to use the GS rating scale. But there is some text.

User Rating: 8.8 | SimCity 4 PC
As said in the blurb, right now I dont want to write out a lengthy review, but leave you with just this: If you buy it, get the expansion the same day. And download every patch known to man. THEN, and only then, will this game work as it should. If you liked Sim City 2000 or 3000, youll like this as well, although some changes might be disorienting at first. As for my tilt, I would have given it a ten, but I dont feel it deserves a 9.4, like the system would give it. An 8.8 is much more apropriate for this game. Again, more details will come sometime this week.
